As a licensed therapist in Texas and Arizona, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each person's unique journey. I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, disability and health issues, addressing addiction, self-esteem, and navigating significant life transitions.
My therapeutic practice focuses on creating a supportive, affirming space where clients can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and develop stronger communication skills. I'm particularly passionate about helping individuals work through issues related to sexuality, workplace challenges, self esteem, and interpersonal relationships.
With a commitment to understanding diverse experiences, I offer a non-judgmental approach that honors each person's individual path. Whether you're dealing with career difficulties, relationship changes, or personal transformation, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

I've had several therapists and she's the first that has really listened and helped me. Writing this review is making me cry because of the relief and support I feel, contrasting with my hopelessness and loss of faith in therapy from previous practitioners. She rocks!

Susan is excellent to work with! It can be so difficult finding the right fit when looking for a new therapist, for me anyway. It's such a good investment though because when you do find the right one, things can change for the better so quickly - I've found the right fit in Susan, highest recommendations!

When you talk to her you feel like you’re talking to a friend. She also does research to your specific needs and environment. Tremendous help, I would highly recommend.

Susan has been very helpful for me to go over things from my past and my current situations. She’s always supportive and kind and listens. It’s my first time trying therapy and if I’m reluctant or don’t know how to answer something she gives me different phrases and time to answer. She also gives wonderful resources and recommendations outside of us speaking with eachother. I got lucky being paired with her my first go!
